So what do I mean by hard? First there are the conversations with your
legal department where some questions arise:

* How do you ensure license compliance?
* When someone makes a change, how do you know the license is still
  correct?
* You've mixing GPLv2 and v3? How are you ensuring no contamination?

Is GPLv3 the issue here with patent, DMC, and Tivoization issues?  Is
the solution to simply not have GPLv3 software in a device?

Are there other license issues that companies are worried about?

Cliff, I think each company has it's own licensing issues. The important thing for OE is to make sure our license fields are accurate.
